About the 2025 Polestar 2
1st generation, late-cycle year after the major 2024 drivetrain and front-end update; final US retail year.
Polestar positions the 2 as an electric fastback built for drivers who care about road feel, clean design, and everyday usefulness. The brand leans hard on "joy of electric performance," a minimalist interior, and Google-based cabin tech, while the hatchback body adds more cargo flexibility than many sedan-shaped EV rivals. Against alternatives like the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4, and Hyundai Ioniq 6, the Polestar 2 stands out with its Scandinavian look, driver-focused tuning, and upscale but restrained cabin.
The sole Long Range Dual Motor is positioned as a driver-focused, fully equipped AWD electric car with 476 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque. Its standout hardware includes adjustable Öhlins dampers and Brembo front brakes, while the cabin has an 11.2-inch Google-based touchscreen, Harman Kardon audio, a panoramic glass roof, and heated front and rear seats.
